New observing reports on Adventures in Deep Space

[Akarsh Simha]

We have several new reports from February and March new moons as well as past reports added to the Adventures in Deep Space website. Mark Wagner expressed an interest in seeing more content from smaller telescopes on the site, and luckily I've received several such reports.

* Lir Schobert, 16 year old Idahoan, writes their first report observing with a 10-inch telescope, going pretty deep with it.

* Snehith from Bangalore writes about his first sketching experience from a star party that I attended in south India

* Muriel Dulieu-Holzer reports on three nights of observing in northern California with 10-inch and 14.5-inch telescopes

* I report on southern objects in the Carina / Crux / Vela region from south India, accumulated from both Feb and March new moons

* Steve Gottlieb has sent me several of his reports from the past. I found the report on "How far can you see?" from the 2025 Golden State Star Party particularly entertaining. I was on the field to witness some of it.

Finally, you may or may not have noticed that Steve's NGC/IC pages have been updated with new notes and a new navigation interface (thank you, AI coding tools!).

I now should be faster in processing observing reports since I had Gemini write out a document outlining the procedure to add a new report :-). Please send in your best reports!
